Offcourse this is a subjective matter, but in my opinion it would be nice to have a little more eyecandy/polished looks with the dashboard and scaffolds.

An example of a very nice default look again in my opinion would be the django admin functionality:

Definitely a good idea ... although, to be honest, my personal philosophy is that the form drafts are really just an example on how to use the MetaControls, which really provide most of the power of the VC-side of the MVC approach for data generated classes, and in most instances, folks are implementing forms from scratch utilizing the meta controls.

Regardless, if this is something you'd be interested in taking on, I think everyone would love to see it.

Well they are the first introduction to Qforms for most people so if they look good and powerfull thats a great first impression / way to get people aboard.

I probably won't have time to do it myself.

But if there is ever a customer with a request I'll be sure to donate back to the community.
